Weekly Status Report #6

This week, we had a lesson on different data types and String data types in Visual Basic, we created a new program involving temperature converting, we wrote an assignment on web awareness and we worked on . This week I completed both of the programs in the time provided and I learned again this week more features in the Visual Basics program.

This week I completed everything that was required; which included the two programs and the essay on web awareness. I learned new features again this week like always; I used for the first time a scroll bar, track bar, picture box and list box. These are just a few of the controls used this week. With the learning of the different String data types, I used these new codes to create the String tutorial. For example, I learned how to remove, replace and compare different strings. Although, I'd already learned some of the functions, I learned a lot as well.

This week I encountered a few problems; with the temperature converter program, I wanted to round all the Celsius degrees to the nearest hundredth and it took me a while but I figure out how to write the code using the object browser. Problems that concerned the String tutorial were just writing the code in general. I had problems thinking up how to write the code with a case statement and I wasn't sure how to use the list box since it is a new control to me. Next week I hope to encounter more problems so that I ca be challenged to write my programs and learn more about using Visual Basics.
